-Calls our girls "Darlin"
-Whoops-a-daisy
-Let's blow this pop stand
-Don't get your britches in a bundle
-You can pick your nose, you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your friend's nose.
-You can pick your nose, you can pick your butt, but don't pick your butt before you pick your nose.

We always joke that his entire eulogy will be just all these phrases combined into nonsense and everyone that loves him will whole heartedly understand.

Ugh, FIL sounds incredibly annoying.

He sounds uneducated and poor.

Isn't it "What in Sam Hill"?

I thought it was “what in the Sam Hill”?

It's this.

I don't know what it means exactly, though.

"Sam Hill" in place of "Hell."

What in the tarnation?

My Nana (born in 1911) used to say, “Well, what do you know?” (to express surprise)

Well, I’ll be darned.

Well, I’ll be dogswoggled.

And my favorite from my then-elderly third grade teacher, “Goodnight, Irene!”

My mom used to say, “Look here, Missy…” and would lecture me. When she called me Missy or Little Miss, I was about to be scolded.

Oh, dear.
We can't dance and it's too wet to plow.
For the love of all that is holy.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
For cryin' out loud.
For Pete's sake.
Goodness gracious.
Cattywampus.
Whore bump.
Good grief.

I find elementary teacher friends have odd phrases for “oh shit” that they use in the classroom but sometimes slips out at other times.
